What is I-O?

Industrial-organizational (I-O) psychology is the scientific
study of the workplace. Rigor and methods of psychology are
applied to issues of critical relevance to business,
including talent management, coaching, assessment,
selection, training, organizational development,
performance, and work-life balance.

Something NEW for 2013! For the first time, we are offering an opportunity to register for one workshop (either morning or afternoon) at a reduced cost of $300 for members and $485 for nonmembers. Because workshop attendees find the networking opportunities available during workshops to be one of the most valuable aspects of attending, the registration fee includes lunch as well as the reception. For those of you who find it difficult to attend a full day of workshops, this option should give you more flexibility to attend, learn, and network!

You do not want to miss the 2013 workshops! Not only will you learn new skills and grow professionally, you will also have the opportunity to network with recognized experts in these content areas, as well as with other prominent professionals in our field who will be attending workshops with you.

Detailed workshop descriptions and presenters’ biographical sketches are provided in the preconference announcement and on the SIOP Web site.
